FAWM: "Where’s My Phone?"

Where’s My Phone?

Liner Notes

this one is experimental. i grabbed some a couple of lines from my notes app in my phone about voicemails and anxiety and all of a sudden i had a story about someone who is panicking about a phone.

my original recording had the verse part and the fast noisy part and then the whole thing repeated again. i originally planned to write two different sets of lyrics for the first and second verses. but i didn’t. i almost left it like that, but right before i posted the 2:20 version of this, i decided it would be better to just get in and get out. so here’s the edited version. the intro is the tail end of the beginning part that got cut. i like that it starts with a little noise.

Lyrics

ok
i guess i am a real audiophile
cause i
only listen to my voicemails
when they're on vinyl

and they sound great
but please stop calling me
because i need a break
i'm panicking
i think i lost my phone
but anxiety makes great cardio

where's my phone?!!
where is it??!!!

oh here it is

Nice.

There’s something TMBG-ish in the concept and the execution. I love the idea that you only listen on vinyl thus making it too much effort to listen. Really liked the chords, as usual.

Super audiophile/vinyl-voice-notes gag to kick us off! Love the mad sonic breakdown, and then the “oh, here it is” is a masterclass in comic timing. Fun track dude!

@fuzzy 4d

Love the double vocals.
"Voicemails on vinyl" lol
The "noisy part" is really excellent.
This made me laugh, especially the ending.

@danxduran 4d

That's catchy as hell, and the chromatic chord changes broke my brain somewhat. I reckon there's a proper song in there if you didn't want it to be experiemental!

@heliosonorous 4d

Ha, awesome! The vm on vinyl is great and surprised it's not a thing, the panic and mood shift captures the feeling of lost panic well.

“I only listen to my voicemails when they’re on vinyl” is a fantastic line! I love the contrast between the power pop and the noise rock, too. And the ending is just right. I think shorter may be the right call on this one (no “call” pun intended).
